From idea to business: training for start-up entrepreneurs continues in Causeni
This week, around 100 entrepreneurs from southern Moldova are gathering in Căușeni for something most of them have been needing for a while: straight answers about how to run a business properly.
From 28 to 30 April, participants from Causeni, Anenii Noi, Stefan-Voda, and Basarabeasca are working directly with tax inspectors, customs officers, accountants, and finance specialists — asking questions and getting practical answers to real problems.
The training programme is organised by the EU- and Denmark-funded project “Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration”, in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, the State Tax Service, the Customs Service, and the publication ‘Monitorul Fiscal FISC.md’.
The sessions cover what actually matters for entrepreneurs just starting out:
- How to handle taxes
- What accounting records to keep — and how
- How import and export works in practice
- The documents every business owner needs to understand and more.
Everyone who completes the training receives a certificate — but more importantly, the knowledge to avoid costly mistakes early on.
At the opening, the Director of the State Tax Service, Olga Golban, stated: “The idea for this event stemmed from the desire to inform not only Chisinau, but also the other regions of Moldova. Our goal is to provide the opportunity to engage with the best specialists and stay up to date with the latest changes. An informed taxpayer is a compliant one.”
Rosario De Blasio, Senior Expert on Customs and Tax Policy within the project, added: “Complying with legislation from the beginning is a key step for building a stable and successful business. Clear rules help entrepreneurs align with European standards early and turn their ideas into competitive businesses ready for the European market.”
The Causeni training marks the sixth edition of the Start-Up Entrepreneurs Programme, launched in 2025, which has already reached over 500 participants across Moldova. Further sessions are planned across three regions in 2026 — in Edinet (May), Ungheni (July), and Comrat (August).
